Stan Bush's 'Dare'

[Vulpis]

Sometimes when your hopes have all been shattered
And there's nowhere to turn
You wonder how you keep going
Think of all the things that really mattered
And the chances you've earned
The fire in your heart is growing
You can fly, if you try leaving the past behind
Heaven only knows what you might find
Dare - dare to believe you can survive
You hold the future in your hand
Dare - dare to keep all of your dreams alive
It's time to take a stand
And you can win, if you dare
Everybody's trying to break your spirit
Keeping you down
Seems like it's been forever
But there's another voice if you'll just hear it
Saying it's the last round
Looks like it's now or never
Out of the darkness you stumble into the light
Fighting for the things you know are right
Dare - dare to believe you can survive
The power is there at your command
Dare - dare to keep all of your dreams alive
It's time to take a stand
And you can win, if you dare
Dare - dare to believe you can survive
You hold the future in your hand
Dare - dare to keep all of your dreams alive
The power is there at your command
Dare - dare to keep all your love alive
Dare to be all you can be
Dare - 'cause there is a place where dreams survive
And it's calling you on to victory

Not really quite sure what powers this one would have--my first reaction would be a combination of *multiple* purchases of Superluck and Daredevil (ala GURPS 4th), but on second glance I'm not sure if that quite fits...

Actually, I've had this cued up in my head for DW6 (Evangelion), although at this point I can't decide if it's going to be theme music (I have several possible theme songs in mind), or some kind of confidence-booster to be applied to Shinji as needed.

I'm not sure how current are you on this seasons anime Bob, but this OP from one of this seasons series should do the trick:
Colors -Code Geass :Leouch of the Rebellion OP
Jibun wo sekai saemo kaete shimaesouna
Shunkan wa itsumo sugu sobanic
The moment that changes me and the world is always right here with me
Kakusenu iratachi to tachi tsukusu jibun wo mitsume
With the irritation I canft hide, I look at myself who is exhausted.

Mayoinagara nayaminagara kuyaminagara kimerebaii sa
All the indecision, anguish, regrets, I chose to use
Kimegakureta kotoba hitotsu tomadoi wa kiesari
Just the one word you gave me and the confusion vanishes
Karappo datta boku no heya ni hikari ga sashita
and the light shines into my room that was once empty
Miageta oozora ga aokusumikitte yuku
The sky I looked up at was blue and perfectly clear,
Tozashita mado wo hiraku koto wo kimeta
I decided to open the window that was locked
Jibun wo sekai saemo kaete shimaesouna
Shunkan wa itsumo sugu sobanic
The moment that changes me and the world is always right here with me
Mitasenu nichijou ni aruhazu no kotae wo sagashite
In the unsatisfying everyday life, Ifm looking for the answer that should exist
Asahi ni hitori yawarakana koe ni furi mukeba
Alone in the morning sun, I turn towards a gentle voice
@N
Mabayui hizashi no naka futo kimi ga hohoemu
In the dazzling sunlight, you casually smiled
Tozashita mado ga hirakisou ni naru
And opened the window that was closed
Jibun wo sekai saemo kaete shimaesouna
Sonzai wa boku no me no mae nic
The existence that changes me and the world is here right in front of my eyesc
Miageta oozora ga aoku sumikitte yuku
The sky I looked up at was blue and perfectly clear,

Tozashita mado wo hiraku koto wo kimeta
I decided to open the window that was locked
Jibun wo sekai sae mo kaete shimaesouna
Shunkan wo kanjiru ima koko nic.
I feel the moment, that changes me and the world ,right here right now and herec
Hikari e to ryoute wo nobashite
Stretch both your hands towards the light
Kokoro wo fukinukeru sora no iro kaoru kaze
The colour of the sky and fragant wind lets your heart blow open
The video of the song
It's apt in a weird way to use this as a confidence booster for Shinji.

Don't worry about it. Ed Becerra first suggested both of those songs to me something like six-eight years ago. Consider yourselves in good company, all of you.
